Arrests in Slovak 'nuclear plot'

Police in Slovakia and Hungary have arrested three people for allegedly
trying to sell 1kg (2.2lb) of radioactive material, officials said.
Slovak police spokesman Martin Korch said the three were planning to sell
the unspecified material in Slovakia for $1m (£483,000).
He said Slovak and Hungarian police had been working together on the case
for several months.
Two suspects were picked up in Slovakia and one was arrested in Hungary.
Mr Korch said experts were examining the radioactive material to determine
exactly what it was.
He said the arrests had been made in the eastern part of Slovakia and
Hungary near their borders with Ukraine.
